Chapter 552 (2/2)

As they waited, the number of people arriving was neither high nor low, and the final number of people that could arrive after one more day was unknown. But from what they saw so far, it was certain that at least half of the original partic.i.p.ants would fail to arrive. Xiang Shaoyun was about to sink into meditation when he caught the glimpse of a group of people. They instantly filled his eyes with fury.

”Di Tong, Di Shang!” Xiang Shaoyun exclaimed.

The two were accompanied by a few other young geniuses. Di Lin, who he hated most, was nowhere to be seen, but he was sure this enemy of his must have arrived as well. Both Di Tong and Di Shang also looked at Xiang Shaoyun, and as they saw him, a sharp glint appeared in their eyes.

A toying smile appeared on Di Shang's face as he said, ”Little Brother Yun, you're here as well? This is worthy of celebration!”

Xiang Shaoyun clenched his fists tightly, to the point cracking sounds could be heard. It was obvious how much anger he was in. This was the first time Lady Shura and Han Clan sisters saw him so furious. They thus looked over at Di Tong and Di Shang, quickly memorizing the two faces.

”Shaoyun, calm down. Private battles are prohibited here,” Tang Longfei said through voice transmission.

”Oh? It can't be that a stray dog like you wishes to make a move against us, right?” Di Shang provoked, as he could see the fury in Xiang Shaoyun's eyes. So long as Xiang Shaoyun attacked, he would be immediately disqualified. This provocation was a ruse by Di Shang.

”Is this Xiang Shaoyun, the son of your Ziling Sect's previous sect master? The rumored useless trash?” asked a young man beside Di Shang.

”Yeah. I wonder how he got so lucky to actually obtain a little bit of combat prowess. But he's nothing special,” said Di Shang with disdain.

”True. It is quite surprising that someone this weak can actually reach this far. I reckon he won't be able to get through the second round,” said the young man. The young man was La Yun, a genius from Celestial King Province's Setting Sun Sect. His strength was similar to Di Tong, a peak King.

Xiang Shaoyun took a deep breath and suppressed the fury in his heart. Wearing a mocking smile, he then swept his gaze over Di Shang. ”Traitors from the Di Clan, it won't be long before I trample upon you one by one. Enjoy the remaining time you have left.”

”Repeat what you just said if you dare, stray dog!” Di Shang was infuriated.

”Sure. Everyone in the Di Clan is a traitor. Your father Di Batian is one, his nine b.a.s.t.a.r.d sons are similarly traitors. My father had treated all of you as family, but you actually stole his sect while he was away. What are you if not traitors?” said Xiang Shaoyun, his voice laced with contempt. He then looked at the people around the Di Clan brothers and said, ”You guys have to be careful as well. They have a history of stepping on others while they're down, betraying their friends. Don't end up falling for their tricks and still feel deeply grateful to them. I know this from experience.”

Those words thoroughly angered Di Shang who almost wanted to attack. Di Tong quickly dragged him back and said, ”Don't fall for his provocation!”

Di Tong then met Xiang Shaoyun's gaze and said, ”Little Brother Yun, why are you saying all those words of anger? It's your fault for being too useless. None of the elders are willing to submit under your rule. Everyone was afraid that you would be the ruin of the sect. That was why they had elected my father as the temporary sect master. If the old sect master is still able to return, we will naturally return the sect. Fine, why don't you come back to us? We will try to persuade the elders to continue acknowledging you as the young master.”
